Daryle Singletary | Tribute To A Country Music Legend

Daryle Singletary, one of the all-time great country singers has passed away. Prayers and sympathy go out to Daryle's wife and children, and to his surviving family members.
This video is a tribute to Daryle Singletary, and his enduring career in country music, edited and provided by Stevie Hawkins.
Emphasis Records artist Stevie Hawkins, had the honor of playing drums and singing backup vocals for Singletary, 2008-2013. Hawkins can be heard playing drums on Singletary's, "Rockin' In The County" album released 2010 by eOne Music. From 2010 to 2013, Hawkins performed double-duty as tour manager and drummer until deciding a break from touring was necessary. Singletary and Hawkins spent many hours and days together, toured all over the country and overseas, had a lot of fun and helped each other through some of life's rough patches, such as close friends do. Hawkins said; "Daryle's faith in me as person, a musician, and handler of his business affairs will always be appreciated. The memories of the time and music we shared will forever be cherished."
Rest in peace, Daryle Singletary.
"Take Me Home Country Roads" is from the "Rockin' In The Country" CD by Daryle Singletary

A great singer gone way to soon

[@joshdeboer2319]

I'll never understand why Nashville gave up on traditional country music and artists like this and so many others.

[@deme22255]

It woke. My brother was a songwriter and producer, Blake Mevis. Country isn’t country anymore.

[@touch3010]

What a talent and what a loss to us traditional Country Fans

[@PhillipHolmes-ui8nk]

This old hillbilly boy from Tennessee loved ❤ the music of Daryle Singletary

[@chuckmelton3602]

This ol backwoods NC boy did to!

[@PhillipHolmes-ui8nk]

Only him and Johnny Paycheck could do justice to the song "Old Violin "

[@chuckmelton3602]

Fact

[@TODinWY]

Got to see and meet Daryle at an event in Vegas a couple of years before his untimely passage. Rest well, Daryle. You were true country.

[@Douglas-up2vh]

Voice of an Angel....Daryl, Keith Whitley, Tracy Lawrence are 3 of my favorites....yes there's many more Greats of traditional Country music..Sadly Nashville abandoned them all...Now we have mostly wannabe, mumble rappers or rockers who think their Country

[@muusicman2010]

Don’t forget Haggard! 😀😀

[@jillpriestino2501]

He was borne the day after my daughter, same year. ❤ Sure love all his songs ive heard so far. RIP. Hugs to all his family as i lost another daughter in 1978., his voice is just beautiful to me

[@lillistern4901]

It's makes me sick to think this man did not enough faith in himself..........he was such a talent. I am so sorry for his passing. He had incredible "chops" but I understand the illness. He's with Jesus now and happily singing with all the Country greats gone before. But I still cry when I listen to him sing.

[@edwardklintworth2004]

Man, was he ever the real deal. R.I.P. Daryle.

[@jasonthomas2061]

Met him at his house. Nisest guy in the world. Wish his wife kids and family the best

[@muusicman2010]

I never was fortunate enough to see him in concert. It was always a bucket list thing for me. You got to hang with him in his House!?! Very cool! See ya on the other side Mr. Singletary!

[@bonniemclaughlin986]

First time i heard Daryle sing this song i fell in love with version, no one can touch him on this

[@ricom73]

[@peggyg2779]

I love his songs so sad he passed away 😢

[@oldenmcgroen]

I had the privilege of meeting Daryle at a show in Georgia in April of 2017. I had the best time that night. Me and my posse were at the stage waiting on the encore (pretty drunk) yelling, “Dim Lights! Thick Smoke!” They came out and played the encore but didn’t play Dim Lights. No matter, the show was great. RIP Daryle. You filled those shoes and then some.

[@robertcame]

[@jamesmcdonald8782]

I am impressed, this guy can sing. If he tried out for the VOICE, years ago I know that he would win. I am out to buy his album. so sorry he passed.

[@albertabeer]

he had a voice that ranks up there with the greats...just saying

[@chuckmelton3602]

Agree 100%

[@Tennessee608]

A voice that has gone silent & that will live on forever in our hearts

[@mikeward9039]

A lot of our great country singers are gone! We had to accept it when Merle went and George and well there’s to many to mention! But when daryle went I struggled to accept it! I though about it for quite a while and just couldn’t get over it I felt he went far to soon as did Keith but he passed a few years before I was born! I’m 29 this year! I bet some of you feel old now? Lol

[@tfs4499]

We've lost another great country singer who stuck to his guns and held up the tradition; thank God we had him while we did! RIP Daryle, you will be missed but never forgotten!

[@lillistern4901]

Daryle, You were true to the genre. Today's music is a sad sorry mess. REST IN PEACE FOREVER.

[@ricom73]

Stevie i sill love looking at this tribute video on a regular basis. This represents what Daryle wanted to achieve and how u enjoyed being part of his life as a manager, a friend and his drummer. Tks so much for making us know meet him in Canada. I will treasure my radio days and interviewing him. Prob my greatest moment in that career. Even better than meeting Jones in Bouctouche. I have a hard time understanding why the good one does this and i want answers when my town on earth is over. Rip Daryle Singletary.

[@hevans2110]

True traditionalist with a pure voice. RIP. Thank you for the music. 🕊

[@rochector25]

He always greeted me with a huge smile on his face and signed my guitar and other items. I will always cherish the time we had with him and will miss him dearly! RIP Pal

[@lindamateri7298]

[@jillpriestino2501]

Rhonda that was beautiful....

[@KateMRobb]

It's such a shame that there's so many out there who believe that the garbage they hear on the radio "now" is actually country music & by believing & listening to that they miss "the truely great traditional singers we've still got" but of course because of "the murder on music row" with each passing year we lose more traditional singers & heaven only knows "who's gonna fill their shoe's" but of course 'you have to know what that means before you can try it'. Asked by George Jones & still waiting to be answered. Tho we have had great singers like Daryl Singletary. One of the few remaining great traditional voices heard by traditional country music audience's & Daryl took great pride in his traditional country sound & often said: "There are still people out there who want to hear traditional country music ; i've been very fortunate to be able to always keep it real & not compromise." Just as Keith Whitley,, Vern Gosden "Chisled in Stone", the Hag, "Okie, the fightin' side of me", etc. Johnny Paycheck, "the old violin, Cowboy Prayer, take this job & shove it" & others who were blessed with this sound & who are No longer with us ; You, DARYL SINGLETARY, will be missed in the months & years to come. You'll be missed when The Note, i let her lie, The old violin, Amen kind of love, & many, many others are heard playing on radio's, cd's, & stereo's near & far, or when someone is huming them or others. I will be one of these who'll be huming & singing along with your songs when i play them or the radio does. I count myself very lucky & blessed to have fallin' in love with your voice & to have been able to listen to you, Countrys Family Reunion. etc... THANKS FOR MANY BEAUTIFUL SONGS & MEMORIES.......

[@KateMRobb]

P.S. it's the Outlaw's Prayer for J. Paycheck not cowboys prayer ! it's been one of those days....

[@brandondickson4266]

Amen preach it

[@BeatleSongPlayer]

@Kate M. Robb,You just expressed very eloquently exactly what I was thinking and I didn't have to do all that typing. You did it for me. Thank you so much. BSP

[@bettypowers4726]
